A Friend of Your's

Sit there still until I get there
Clear your worries and smile
It may be that bad but it will get better
When I arrive, I will sit there with you
We can watch the light shine through our eyes
Feel the sun burn away the tears
Feel the breeze with no fear.
So just sit there until I get there
you can empty your thoughts into a funnel
watch them separate like salt and pepper
see them spin on their own
those problems clearly do not need you.
Sit there until I get there
we can share a laugh
see the wrinkles disappear
see our truth's design
feel the pain of passion with a smile.
Sit there still until I get there
I'll bring coffee and you'll be happy
I'll bring life and you'll see clearer
you'll bring your heart and I'll understand
shame will be lifted
gratitude will be born.
So sit there until I get there
I'll hold your hand
I'll comb your hair
I'll become silent until your finished.
So when I get there
accept me as a friend that you
can paint your canvas on.

Remembering You Are Alive

Don't forget that no matter how bad someone can treat you, you're not dead.
Don't forget how strong you become after someone has broken your heart.
Remind yourself that you HAVE friends and family.
Remind yourself that you can make it through anything.
Don't forget when you have a full tummy, some may not. Be grateful.
When you feel you have falling into a stream of tears and a bush of thorns,
tissues and band-aids are always available.
When you feel helpless, know that you are the only one that made that happen.
When you see nothing good, remember its your eyes that you are looking through.
Don't forget when trust has disappeared, search in the lost and found.
Don't forget, all that glitters isn't gold.
And remember your name, because that is the name every first and last
impression will be left with.
